{}

public List findAll()

...
...
return carList;
}
}
========================ServiceLocator.java

public static SessionFactory getHibernateSessionFactory(String jndiSessionFactoryName) throws ServiceLocatorException {

try {

======================this is what jboss-4.0.1 displays

15:30:31,637 INFO [STDOUT] com.jbossatwork.util.ServiceLocatorException: com.jb
ossatwork.util.ServiceLocatorException: javax.naming.NamingException: Could not
dereference object [Root exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: hibern
ate not bound]


i'm working wit the examples of http://www.jbossatwork.com/downloads.html
it runs only with JDBCCarDAO.java but not with HibernateCarDAO.java though book says that it runs through HibernateCarDAO.

please, anybody help, what am i doing wrong?[/b]
